1. Introduction. Concrete is inherently a heterogeneous composite due to the randomly packed coarse aggregates with irregular shapes [1].The spatial distribution characteristics of coarse aggregates affect the transport rates of gas and liquid in concrete and thereby govern its durability [2], [3].The mechanical properties of …

The shell of the coconut comes under agricultural waste and enormous amount of area is essential for its dumping after its usage.The CS which hold on to 12 mm sieve can be used as coarse aggregate ...

The most efficient use of these components is to include them into the concrete itself, either as a partial substitute for fine aggregate or coarse aggregate, or both.

Coarse aggregates are granular materials with particle sizes larger than 4.75 mm (0.1875 inches), typically retained on a 4.75 mm sieve during particle size analysis. These aggregates play a crucial role in providing structural strength and stability to construction materials such as concrete and asphalt.

CHAPTER 1—INTRODUCTION. Hydraulic cement concrete is a cement and water paste in which aggregate particles are embedded. Aggregate is granular material such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, blast-furnace slag, and lightweight aggregates that usually occupies approxi-mately 60 to 75% of the volume of concrete.

These aggregates, simply are a collection of discrete materials of varying sizes, shapes, and other essentials attribute. Aggregates can occupy up to 60%-75% volume of composite construction materials like concrete. Thus, their own properties have a significant impact on the overall properties of such composite materials.

After demolition of old roads and buildings, the removed concrete is often considered worthless and disposed of as demolition waste. By collecting the used concrete and breaking it up, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is created (Fig. 1).This paper focuses on coarse RCA which is the coarse aggregate from the original concrete that …

Coarse Aggregate. The material which is retained on 4.75 mm of I.S. Sieve is known as Coarse aggregate. Fine Aggregate. The material Retained on the 75 microns I.S. Sieve but passing through 4.75 mm I.S. sieve. The maximum size of the aggregates used in the concrete making is 80 mm. using the Maximum size of the aggregate lead …

Although aggregates are most commonly known to be inert filler in concrete, the different properties of aggregate have a large impact on the strength, durability, workability, and economy of concrete. These different properties of aggregate allow designers and contractors the most flexibility to meet their design and construction requirements ...

Sukesh et al. (2013) investigated that the usage of Quarry dust, the characteristics of Portland cement, and the fine and coarse materials utilized in concrete. Different ratios, including 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%, were used to cast M 20 grade concrete, and the strength parameters were analyzed.

In addition, when preparing the coarse aggregate sample, a cutter was used to cut the aggregate to obtain a smoother surface. The sample was then washed with water and dried for 24 h. Finally, the contact angle between the coarse aggregate and the cement emulsified asphalt was measured.

Coarse aggregates are an essential component of a wide variety of construction applications.Sometimes, coarse aggregates are used on their own, such as a granular base placed under a slab or pavement.However, mainly construction aggregate is used as a component in a mixture, such as an asphalt or concrete mix.Both of these …

To ensure good coarse aggregate compaction and higher concrete density, it is recommended to mix 20 mm and 10 mm coarse aggregates in the ratio of 70:30 or 60:40. It is recommended to stack different …

In the present study, ceramic tile waste and iron slag were used in concrete as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate with 0%, 10%, 50%, and of the substitution, and M25 grade concrete ...

Abstract. In the present study, concrete was considered as a two-phase material, consisting of coarse aggregate (CA) and mortar. Coarse aggregate properties were characterized by fineness, uncompacted void and friction angle. The combined effects of CA characteristics and mix design on the rheological properties of the corresponding …

Using two cement types, cement proportions of 1%, 2% and 3% of the slag aggregate weight mixed with optimum moisture content of the non-treated compacted slag were used to make lightly cemented ...

Given that aggregates make up 60% to 70% of a concrete mix, the aggregate characteristics, both physical and mineralogical, significantly affect the behaviour of fresh and hardened concrete. For example, it is found that aggregate shape, texture and gradation have the most important role in establishing the properties of fresh …

Another important characteristic of aggregate is the presence and type of surface coatings which can affect workability and plastic shrinkage of concrete. …

The aggregate demand occurs due to increased growth rate of construction activities. The insufficiency of aggregates is result of demand which arise problem and it addressed by novel technique for creating non-traditional aggregates to replace traditional coarse aggregates. This work comprises a unique methodology to study the …

Abstract Concrete is an important construction material. However, the consumption of natural aggregates in concrete production is responsible for depleting natural resources. Utilization of construction …

The ratio of the mass of an aggregate to the mass of a volume of water is equal to the volume of the aggregate particles. Specific gravity is a fundamental property of aggregates that are used in many different calculations and for the proportioning of asphalt and concrete mixtures. There are many standard test methods to determine specific ...

The studies on conventional concrete have indicated that the fracture of coarse aggregate plays a vital role in the strain rate effect [7].Because of the lower w/c and pozzolanic effect, the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) of UHPC is much denser compared to that of conventional concrete [4].It is expected that the fracture behavior of coarse …

Several studies have been conducted for the use of coarse fraction of RAP aggregates in concrete but only few for fine fraction. In order to understand the effect of RAP fine aggregates as a replacement alternative, only a handful of studies have been conducted in cement mortar [19], [20], [21] rather than concrete, thereby its effect is …
